This book builds on the works of Artaud and Deleuze, setting forth
a different way of thinking on the body through the use of a whole
new set of conceptual tools. Paic argues that the human body has
become obsolete in relation to the development of cybernetics and
artificial intelligence, proposing that it can be understood
neither as a bare thing nor a machine, but instead as an event. The
concept of White Holes serves both as a metaphor and as a guide for
understanding constellations such as the visualization of the body,
the corporeal turn, fascination with the digital image, and the
technosphere. Through visualization of the body, we reach out to a
space of singularity of thought that is not a description of
reality, but rather its aesthetic construction. Leading a paradigm
shift after the end of metaphysics in cybernetics, Paic argues that
phenomenology and psychoanalysis can no longer be credible
theoretical orientations for deep insight into what happens when
artificial life takes over what remains of the body's immanence.
